Slam Dunk: Muguro

Chapter 217 40+ Quadruple Double

As the basketball went through the net, a long whistle, signaling the end of the game, echoed throughout the stadium.

The moment the game ended, the whole audience was boiling.

At this moment, thunderous cheers and applause broke out in the stadium, as if the whole world was cheering for the victory of the Xiangbei team.

Among them, the most powerful is Murasakibara's personal guards.

Many female fans touched the big ball to the small ball and hugged each other passionately.

"Won!"

"we won!"

……

At the same time, the Xiangbei players were so excited that they could hardly control themselves. They jumped and shouted, releasing the pressure and tension that had accumulated for a long time, their faces filled with unconcealable joy.

The players hugged each other tightly on the court, with sweat and tears mixed together.

With their hard work and persistence, they defeated the arrogant Sanwang Industries and created an incredible miracle.

At this moment, all the sweat, fatigue and pressure seemed to disappear, replaced by the joy of victory.

The Xiangbei players on the bench couldn't contain their excitement and jumped into the court to celebrate with their teammates on the field.

"Oh heh heh!"

Amidst all the jubilation, Coach Anxi seemed exceptionally calm.

He sat quietly on the bench, holding the teacup steadily and showing his signature smile.

He is proud of his players who have proven themselves through their actions.

Coach Anzai's eyes fell on Mu Mu and he murmured to himself, "The future is promising!"

In fact, Coach Anzai was also surprised that Shohoku defeated Sanno Industrial.

There is no way, there is an obvious gap between the two teams' lineups.

To put it bluntly, at that time, except for Murasakibara, all other positions of Shohoku were at a disadvantage, not to mention the depth of the lineup.

Shohoku was able to defeat Sanno Industrial thanks to Kogure!
It was thanks to Murasakibara's great performance that Shohoku was able to overcome the AA-level Sanno Industrial.

Murasakibara: If I don’t cross levels, I can’t show that I’m the protagonist!

While Shohoku was celebrating, the players of Sanno Industrial were in deathly silence.

They stood helplessly on the court, their eyes filled with loss and unwillingness.

Among them, Matsumoto Minoru lowered his head, unable to suppress his emotions any longer.

His shoulders trembled slightly, tears flowed down uncontrollably, and he cried like a child.

In this game, Matsumoto Minoru showed an extremely high level and can be regarded as the best player of Sanno Industrial.

Despite trying his best, he was ultimately powerless and Matsumoto Minoru could only watch victory slip away from his hands.

Competitive sports are so cruel that victory and failure are often just a fine line apart.

Not far away, Kentaro Sakurai showed a look of regret.

If he could have made those two free throws, Sanno Industrial would definitely have won in the end, after all, Shohoku was already a spent force.

Unfortunately, there is no if!
He is destined to say goodbye to high school with regret!

As for Sannoh's ace Kaede Shimo Kashima, he was still immersed in Mitsui's provocative words before the game.

"Kashima, the title of the best high school student in the country will be handed over to someone else today!"

In this game, Murasakibara not only played phenomenal data, but also led the team to a comeback and ultimately defeated the invincible Sanno Industrial.

In addition, in the round between the two, Kaede Frost of Kashima was also suppressed by Murasakibara and was overshadowed by Murasakibara's brilliance.

At this moment, he seemed to see the halo on his head gradually fading, and finally being pressed down on Murasakibara's head.

"What a shame!"

Kashima Fengshuang sighed softly, her eyes filled with loneliness.

However, the most important thing for Kashima Kaede is that they lost the game.

Originally, he was full of confidence that he would win the Winter Championship again and put a perfect end to his high school basketball career which was about to end.

However, Murasakibara's outstanding performance completely shattered his dream.

He knew that his time was over.

At this moment, Coach Domoto's eyes revealed a hint of helplessness and loss.

With 18 seconds left in the game, Sanno Industrial still maintained a 5-point advantage, and the balance of victory almost completely tipped in their favor.

However, something dramatic happened in the last 18 seconds.

Under the leadership of Murasakibara, the Shohoku team launched an incredible counterattack, scoring 8:0 and turning the situation of the game around in one fell swoop.

With this climax, the Xiangbei team completed a Jedi counterattack at the last moment and successfully defeated the arrogant Sanno Industrial.

The most ironic thing is that Xiangbei also used Sanno Industrial's signature skill - tight defense, which laid the foundation for the final victory.

In the end, he made a low-level mistake and failed to replace Kentaro Sakurai in time, paying the price for this game.

As the game came to an end, Yayoi Aida hurried towards the Shohoku bench, intending to record this historic moment.

First of all, she congratulated Xiangbei and congratulated them on their successful advancement to the finals of the Winter Competition.

Then, her attention turned to the key figure in the Shohoku team - Kogure Konobu!
Murasakibara's outstanding performance not only won the game for the team, but also naturally made him a hot topic in the eyes of reporters.

The look in Yayoi Aida's eyes when she looked at Murasakibara seemed to be shining, just like "Puff Daddy" seeing G0at, filled with strong possessiveness.

She curiously asked Mu Mu: "Why did you choose to shoot so many three-pointers today?"

Mu Mu smiled slightly and answered with his unique humor: "Because there are no four-point shots to shoot."

This answer made the Xiangbei players present couldn't help laughing.

"Pfft, cough cough cough!"

Yuho Ikeda, who was drinking water, even sprayed out the water in her mouth.

Yuho Ikeda looked at her wet crotch with tears in her eyes.

Thank God, he really didn't wet his pants this time.

At this time, Yayoi Aida continued to ask: "In the last 8 seconds, you scored a total of 8 points. What do you think?"

Mu Mu seemed a little confused: "8 seconds and 8 minutes???"

After some confusion, Murasakibara finally reacted.

He suddenly realized that his penultimate three-pointer might also have been counted by Yayoi Aida.

In fact, if calculated strictly, it should be 18 seconds and 8 minutes, not 8 seconds and 8 minutes.

Obviously, Yayoi Aida's score starts from the second to last three-pointer he made.

This is a classic word game!
As a reporter, it is understandable that Yayoi Aida would prefer to report the game in a more eye-catching way.

It was also at this time that Yayoi Aida's assistant Nakamura ran over panting, holding the data sheets of both players in his hands.

He handed the data sheet to Yayoi Aida, and looked at Murasakibara with eyes full of amazement and admiration.

Although the latter was mentally prepared, he was still shocked when he saw Murasakibara's data.

In this game, Murasakibara made 24 of 15 shots, including 15 of 10 three-pointers and 8 of 7 free throws, scoring a total of 47 points.

In addition, he had 12 assists, 13 rebounds, 8 steals and 3 blocks.

A near quadruple-double!
Just two steals away from completing a quadruple-double.

Even so, in the history of the entire Winter Games, his data is enough to rank among the top three, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the first. In addition, Yayoi Aida, who has a deep understanding of the Winter Games, found that Mugure has also achieved two important achievements.

First, he tied the three-point shooting record of the Winter Tournament set by Mitsui not long ago, and shared the record with Mitsui.

Secondly, he became the first player to record a 40+ triple-double in a winter tournament.

If the near quadruple-double achievement is taken into account, Murasakibara's name will undoubtedly be engraved in the history of the Winter Tournament and become a goal for future high school players to strive to catch up with.

After answering a few more questions, Murasakibara did not continue the interview, giving the opportunity to his teammates and going to the locker room.

Soon, Mu Mu finished washing up and prepared to leave the gymnasium with his teammates.

Inside the stadium, the audience had already dispersed.

Before they left the gymnasium, three eager young men came towards them. They were Sakuragi, Rukawa and Zebei.

Sakuragi's laughter echoed in the empty gymnasium. He did not hide his pride and believed that he also contributed to Xiangbei's victory.

If it weren't for his curse at the critical moment, Kentaro Sakurai would not have missed both free throws.

Sakuragi's mysterious confidence made Murasakibara a little puzzled.

If he really wanted to say that, he thought the credit went to the female fan who took off her clothes.

That's really big!
Don’t ask him how he knows. The only way to know is that Murasakibara has also seen it.

However, Murasakibara still encouraged Sakuragi.

For someone like Sakuragi, he not only needs constant encouragement, but also frequent praise.

After dealing with Sakuragi, suddenly, Zebei took a step forward and stood in front of Murasakibara.

"Senior Mumu, I want to challenge you!"

Without hesitation, Zebei once again proposed the idea of ​​challenging Murasakibara.

In the last challenge, he thought he was no worse than Murasakibara, but because he didn't understand Murasakibara, he was defeated by Murasakibara in the end.

Half a year later, Zebei thought he had made great progress during this period, so he challenged Murasakibara again.

The most important thing is that Murasakibara has a tendency to replace Kashima Kaede and become the number one high school student in the country.

Of course, Murasakibara's position is not stable because he does not have top honors, such as the national MVP.

The MVP of the Autumn National Games is naturally not included. After all, the value of the Autumn National Games is far less than that of the two major competitions.

"Sorry, I refuse!"

In response to Zebei's challenge, Murasaki chose to refuse!
"But……"

"Do you think I have enough energy to handle the challenge in my current state?"

Without waiting for Zebei to finish speaking, Mu Mu interrupted him rudely.

In the match against Sanno Industrial, Murasakibara has already used up all his "supernatural power", and there is really not a single drop left!

Although he was eager to take on the challenge, his physical condition wouldn't allow him to do so.

Not only Murasakibara, the other main players of Shohoku could not hide the fatigue on their faces.

They need to recover as soon as possible to prepare for tomorrow's finals.

"Zebei, you are taking advantage of someone's misfortune. How shameless!"

At this time, Sakuragi began to make fun of Zebei.

Rukawa, who was observing quietly at the side, nodded in agreement. This was the first time he agreed with Sakuragi.

At the same time, his eyes revealed a hint of deep thought, and he was also evaluating the strength of Murasakibara and Zebei in his mind.

Yesterday, Rukawa and Zebei had two private duels.

5:3, 5:2
This is their score, Zebei is in front and Rukawa is behind.

Although Rukawa is still no match for Zebei, he is no longer almost powerless like he was in the junior high school competition.

Rukawa is very self-aware and believes that the reason he has made such great progress in a short period of time is mainly due to Murasakibara.

It is thanks to Murasakibara's guidance that Rukawa's offensive skills have made great progress.

On the offensive end, Rukawa is not much inferior to Zebei.

In terms of physical fitness, there is also not much difference.

The gap between the two is mainly concentrated on the defensive end.

As for who is stronger between Murasakibara and Zebei, he naturally prefers Murasakibara.

Even though Zebei has made great progress, he thinks Murasakibara has made even greater progress.

This is the difference between a genius and a fool!

……

The next morning, Kasumigaoka National Athletic Stadium!
The stadium was filled with people, and the audience's cheers were endless, enthusiastically rooting for the teams they supported.

Nearing nine in the morning, two teams left the player tunnel, they were Shohoku and Hakata.

This means that the Winter Games Finals are about to begin.

Among them, the main players of Xiangbei could not hide their fatigue, and their steps were not as brisk as usual.

Yesterday's game almost exhausted their physical strength, and their muscles were sore all over, and their condition was obviously affected.

In less than a day, they could not recover to their peak condition.

Having one game a day is not very friendly to a team like Xiangbei.

Although they were exhausted physically and mentally, their determination and perseverance remained undiminished.

Because as long as they beat Bodo again, they will win the Winter Championship!

Compared with Xiangbei, the condition of Bodo players is much better.

Yesterday, in the match between Bodo and Aiwa Academy, they laid the foundation for victory ten minutes before the end of the game.

During this period, they adopted a rotation strategy, with the five starters of Bodo playing for an average of less than 30 minutes.

This not only demonstrates their strength, but also reflects their good physical management and tactical arrangements.

In addition, Bodo players also have very good physical reserves.

As a national high school powerhouse, Hakata's training intensity is no less than that of Sanno Industrial and Hainan High School, and it can better adapt to the rhythm and intensity of the game.

Before the game started, the coaches of both teams had a friendly exchange.

The reason is simple. Coach Bodo was Coach Anzai's assistant coach when he was in college, and the two of them developed a deep friendship.

During the mobilization before the game, Coach Anxi's eyes swept across the faces of each player.

He routinely gave the Xiangbei players chicken soup and conducted an inspiring pre-game mobilization.

"Everyone has dreams and goals they want to achieve. Today is your chance to turn your dreams into reality. Now we are only one step away from winning the Winter Games championship..."

Coach Anxi's voice was loud and powerful, and every word was full of strength and determination, as if it could penetrate everyone's heart.

"Now, let's shout out our slogan together!"

After a pause, Coach Anxi shouted, "We are strong!"

“We are strong!”

The Xiangbei players shouted in unison, their voices were uniform and full of strength and fighting spirit.

As the slogan ended, the morale of the entire team reached its peak.

At this moment, they seemed to have forgotten their fatigue and began their final charge towards the championship.
